SURFACE REACTIONS DURING METAL FATIGUE

Abstract

In metal fatigue tests at the National Bureau of Standards, numerous gas bubbles formed under transparent tape applied to the surfaces of flat specimens. A mass spectrometric analysis indicated that the evolved gas was hydrogen. This work provides evidence of a correlation between surface reactions due to the environment and fatigue damage in metals.
